A Word For Wednesday, The Blessing In The Thorn

Good Morning! Thank you for joining us today. We are so happy to bring you A Word For Wednesday. A few moments ago I posted A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please give it a listen and leave us a comment here or on YouTube. 

I am speaking today about another song that has shaped us. The Blessing In The Thorn. This song is drawn from Apostle Paul in II Corinthians12

7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

The Blessing In The Thorn Lyrics I read about a man of God who gloried in his weakness And I wished that I could be more like Him and less like me Am I to blame for what I'm not? Or is pain the way God teaches me to grow? I need to know When does the thorn become a blessing? When does the pain become a friend? When does the weakness make me stronger? When does my faith make me whole again? I want to feel His arms around me In the middle of my raging storm So that I can see the blessing in the thorn I've heard it said the strength of Christ is perfect in my weakness And the more that I go through, the more I prove the promise true His love will go to any length It reaches even now to where I am But tell me once again When does the thorn become a blessing? When does the pain become a friend? When does the weakness make me stronger? When does my faith make me whole again? I want to feel His arms around me In the middle of my raging storm So that I can see the blessing in the thorn Lord, I have to ask You On the cross You suffered through Was there a time You ever doubted What You already knew? Hmm When does the thorn become a blessing? When does the pain become a friend? When does my weakness make me stronger? When does my faith make me whole again? I want to feel His arms around me In the middle of my raging storm So that I can see the blessing in the thorn Oh, I want to see the blessing in the thorn
